EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Background

This is the fourth in a series of comparative studies of projected base load 
electricity generation costs conducted under the auspices of the OECD energy 
agencies (NEA and IEA) in close association with the International Union of 
Producers and Distributors of Electrical Energy and the International Atomic 
Energy Agency.

Scope

Data on the projected costs from nuclear, coal-fired, gas-fired and renewable 
sources have been obtained from utilities or government agencies in 16 OECD 
countries and 6 non-OECD countries, all using the same standardized lifetime 
levelised cost methodology.

The study has focused on plants that could be commercially available for 
commissioning in the year 2000 or shortly thereafter, and submissions received 
have related mainly to light-water-cooled pressurised water and boiling water 
reactors (LWRs), pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWRs), pulverised fuel coal 
burning plants, some fluidised bed coal burning plants and gas combined cycle 
plants. Relatively few data have been provided on other advanced technologies 
or renewable sources.
